Hank: "Do, uh, do both of these again."
Well, I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song
Tell ya, honey, it won't be long
I'll pack my bags, get outta here
With my guitar and a case of beer
Well, I'm going north, and I'm going south
Tell ya, honey, better shut your mouth
I'll kick your head from here to hell
You better know, I can do it well
Midnight train, rambling rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Losing all my money, well it really ain't so funny, hon
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Tell ya what, babe, well ya better be moving on
Well, I really don't know I'm going for sure
Ain't got a map, and it ain't no tour
I'm just heading out for the open sky
Who knows, I might even die
Well, don'tcha worry your pretty little head
I never give a damn what I did or said
That's why I'm packing to leave this place
Can't stand to look at your cheating face
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Losing all my money, well, it really ain't so funny, hon
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Tell you what, babe, well you better be moving on
Well, you treated me like a little boy
And you played around like I was a toy
Guess you thought I'd have the blues
Look who's crying--guess you lose
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Losing all my money, well, it really ain't so funny, hon
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Tell you what, babe, well you better be moving on
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Losing all my money well, it really ain't so funny, hon
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Tell you what babe, well, you better be moving on
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Losing all my money, well, it really ain't so funny, hon
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long, I'm gambling, gambling
Tell you what, babe, well, you better be moving on
It's about that time, better be moving on
Get outta here, you better be moving on
That's all she wrote, you better be moving on
